A Coventry-based theatre company formed by graduates of Coventry University is bringing a gruesome drama to West Nottinghamshire College’s Create Theatre this November.

Noctium Theatre Limited will tell the story of The Country Doctor – a young man who has failed medical school in Moscow and has escaped into the cold Russian countryside.

He discovers a lonely medical surgery where a peculiar cohort of nurses and surgeons take him in to be their new head doctor; a position which he embraces despite his lack of qualifications.

Inspired by Mikhail Bulgakov, Noctium takes you in to a world of gruesome operations set deep in the isolated, frozen wastes of the Russian countryside.

The show is at the Derby Road-based theatre on Friday 4 November at 7.00pm. There will be use of strong language and scenes of a sexual nature.

Tickets cost £5 and can be purchased by calling 01623 413363 or visiting the box office online at www.createtheatre.co.uk
